I just got back from seeing The Bourne Ultimatum. It was AWESOME. Go see it, seriously.
Jason Bourne is unstoppable. He could probably take over the world single-handedly if he wanted to, and then he'd look around all soulfully and feel bad that he killed people and go apologize to their relatives. You know who else is unstoppable? JOHN MCCLANE. If Bourne tried to take over the world, McClane would be all "fuck no, motherfucker, yippee kay-ay, et cetera!" and there would be an EPIC showdown. Or they could take over the world together. Or, or, or aliens could invade Earth and McClane and Bourne could fight them off in hand-to-hand combat. They could take out the mothership with somebody's beat-up pickup truck that they hotwired and then catapulted/drove out of a plane/drove off a roof/something even more improbable. And then Jason Bourne could look around soulfully and feel bad that he killed aliens and arrange for a peace treaty to be negotiated. Because that's the kind of guy Jason Bourne is. HARDCORE but not bad to the bone.
Anyway, I don't suppose any of you have run across a Bourne Identity/Die Hard crossover, have you?
PS - I like action movies more than is probably healthy.

Sadly, I know nothing of Bourne or Die Hard.
Okay, well, I know this or Die Hard:
At school I'm part of the Surrealist Training Circus, which is a big production set after the apocalypse, performed the last weekend of the semester. Constants include: fire, explosions, fireworks, unicycling, balance beams, accordions, that mentos-in-diet-pepsi-or-whatever trick, and the like. The set is huge, made of people's discarded sculpture installation senior projects, and usually built by senior art students after they present and dismantle said projects. This year, a bunch of kids learned how to juggle and breathe fire. There's at least one band performing, and this year one of the bands was nude, with a couple of them in body paint. You get the idea.
The other tradition is that this faculty member, basically the director of student community service, dresses up like Bruce Willis, screams "YIPPEE KAY-AY MOTHERFUCKERS" and blows up a fake airplane we've built. He gets everyone to chant it with him (which is hard, considering the minimal population of Bard students who has any idea what the reference is, not to mention the fact that this takes place around the climax of the show, so everyone is smashed). I didn't know the plane was going to be filled with fireworks. It was loud.
Hi, I randomly surfed over via imadra_blue's journal.
And HOMG THIS POST WINS. Massive amounts. Just wanted to inform you of that.

YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE. :D
Sorry, I'm normally more coherent than this. If you ever come across any of that Bourne/Die Hard fic, be sure to toss a link, hey? ;)
